 In partnership with Catalyst Conversations, the List Visual Arts Center presents Literature and Math: Considering Alice with Anna Henchman, Michael Hopkins and Debra Wise.

 Literature and Math: Considering Alice explores and celebrates some of the subtexts, math and otherwise in Lewis Carroll’s famous book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In a recent New York Times Opinion essay, London based mathematician Sarah Hart celebrates the connection between mathematics and literature. She says: “Good mathematics, like good writing, involves an inherent appreciation of structure, rhythm and pattern. That feeling we get when we read a great novel or a perfect sonnet — that here is a beautiful thing, with all the component parts fitting together perfectly in a harmonious whole — is the same feeling a mathematician experiences when reading a beautiful proof.”
